I would think Osi's opnion is supported by fact. CC is making a guess.

I agree. I took your original post the wrong way. Thought you were more on the side of Carter then of Osi. And you could be right, the players might not know what the problem is. The coaches should, but that's yet to be seen.

New York Giants pass rusher Osi Umenyiora didn't take kindly to Cris Carter's take on why Big Blue and November don't seem to go together.

Carter said on ESPN that it comes down to coach Tom Coughlin running "a very tough program" that's "taxing, both mentally and physically." Carter argued the Giants fall into a lull because of the nature of Coughlin's regime, but bounce back by season's end because they're "such a good football team."

"I think Cris Carter doesn't know what he's talking about," Umenyiora told ESPN Radio, via the New York Post. "He hasn't been in our locker room, he doesn't know anything about our culture or the way coach Coughlin coaches now. I mean, he's probably going off the reputation that was probably 15 years ago.

In essence then, Chris "Einstein" Carter says that the Giants fade in November because they have been ground down by Coughlin but with 2 months of additional grinding, they rise from the dead because of their greatness. That makes perfect sense.
